The hotel exceeded my expectations with superior premium rooms that were well-equipped, but there were some service inefficiencies. The location was excellent for accessing the exhibition center, but the dining experience was disorganized. Overall, a good stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel is in a convenient location for events at the O2, easily accessible by tube/DLR. The rooms are spacious, clean, and modern, although the bathroom could have smelled better. The service was lacking in attentiveness, with unannounced room visits and noise disturbances while trying to sleep. The dining options were average, with some items lacking freshness, and the pricing for certain meals was considered a rip-off. The location offers great access to the Convention Center and two tube lines, ideal for visitors attending events at the Excel exhibitions.

The hotel was stunning, perfect for selfie lovers like me, though a bit warm in the rooms even when it's chilly outside, requiring a fan. The service was top-notch, meeting all expectations and offering discounts for early breakfast requests. The location was excellent near the Excel Centre, but had some minor issues with noisy construction. The dining experience was pleasing with a beautiful harbor view, though slightly overpriced for cooked breakfast. The facilities were adequate overall.
